Stray Theories - Empath

Step into a moonlit river of sound. Session XIX — Lanterns Over the Water drifts through the heart of Japan’s shrine and lantern traditions, weaving non‐lexical shrine chorus hums, shakuhachi sighs, koto glissandi, and taiko heartbeat pulses into a deep, meditative lounge journey.
Inspired by Kyoto’s Gion nights, coastal lantern festivals, and the still elegance of Shinto shrine waters, this session captures a ritual calm where fireflies, incense smoke, and floating lights move as one.

▸ REGION: Japan — Shinto shrine ambience, lantern festivals, Gion street nights
▸ VOCALS: nonverbal shrine chants, breath vowels (“aaa–ooo–eee”), whispered blessings (“mizu,” “tsuki,” “kokoro”)
▸ INSTRUMENTS: shakuhachi, koto, taiko, suzu bells, temple woodblock, night cicadas, water ripple field recordings
▸ MOOD: moonlit stillness • ritual elegance • drifting light on water

🎧 For meditative evenings, incense-lit moments, or midnight walks by water.

This project started sampling an album I composed as Chasing Dreams, which I never released for many reasons.

Its concept is about embracing humanity.
From the beginning of our journey to the end of our days, from the first memories to none of them. 
Everything has a beginning and of course, an ending.

At the end, we all have to Embrace our nature as we know it.

Embrace

For my past self,

This is for us. I wrote this for all our childhood dreams and imaginary places we would venture off to. This is the soundtrack to our life. We made it this far in life and here we are…all grown up.

Vincent DiFrancesco is a multi-instrumentalist and producer of electronic ambient and neo-classical music. Trained on violin and viola from early childhood, Vincent first began creating music outside the classical genre with an electric violin and pedal board as a street musician in his early teenage years. Today, his music seeks to reimagine string instruments through the lens of popular music production. Most of his releases consist of up to 70 tracks of recorded string instruments arranged in patterns normally associated with the electronic genre. Instead of creating complex harmonies, Vincent places particular focus on sound texture and quality. Since 2016, Vincent has independently released four EPs and and six singles.
